Follow CrrujtNS: This to a family MttSSrSSrBTfiBTi to the whole civilized enmnsumta. [Here a portion of the platform fell.] A military reunion excitement and and in fMs good-natnrad audience we can, have a good many accidents Uks that and soli keep quiet and be happy. I said this was a family reunion ; an assembly of the old Forty second military and family, it is weti for us to meet here. Nineteen fears ago I met e crowd of earnest btitaens in that-court room above the stain. Your bell was rung, and your people came out The teacher of your schools was among them. The boys'of tbs schools were there, and after we had talked together a little while about otu country and Us imperiled flag, the teacher of the school oSexod himself to bis conn toy, and twenty ot his boys with him. They never went back into the school house agflfn ;Tmt in the dark days ot No-rember.-i961, they and enough Ashland county boys to make one hundred went down with me to Oolombos to join another hundred that had gone before them

from Ashland county, and these two hundred ot your children > stood id the center of oar military fafolly, and bore these old bannera that youftee Uttered before yon to day. Dae of them yv&a given to oar family by*ihe ladies of Ashland, and Company C, from Ashland, carried it well. It was .riddled bv bullets and torn by underbrush, flopped by the winds of .rebellion., It, came back tattered as yon see h, but wffu never a

stain upon its folds and never a touch of dishonor upon it anywhere. The other of these banners was given us by the special friends of Company A in my old town of Hiram, the student company from the heart of the Western Reserve, and it is also spared like its fellows, and came home covi red with the glory of the conflict We were % fatally,: f say again, aud we did nut let partisan politics disturb ns then, and we do not let partisanship enter into our circle here to-day. We did not quarrel about controversies out* side of our great work. We agreed to be brothers for the Union, under the flag, against sll its enemies everywhere, and brothers to all men who stood with us ander the flag to fight ior the Union, whatever their color of skin, whatever their previous politics, whatever their religion. In that spirit we went out, in that spirit we returned, and we are glad to be in Ashland today, for it is one of the homes of our regiment, where we

were welcomed in the beginning, and have always been welcome since. We are ntoefhl for the welcome tendered os today by this . great assembly of our old neighbors and friends ot Ashland county. Now, fellow-citizens, a regiment, like a family, has the right to be a little claaiah and exclusive. It does not deny the right of any other family to the same privileges, but it holds the members of its own family a little nearer and a little dearer than any other family in the world; and so the Forty-second regiment has always been a band of brothem. I do not this day know a Forty-second man in the toorld who bates another Forty-second msn. There never was a serious quarrel inside (he regiment. There was never a serious disagreement between its officers. The worst to tag I have ever heard saftT against it is that all its three field officers came home alive, and they are aH here on this stand today. It was, perhaps, a little against us that notone of us had the honor to get killed or seriously crippled; but we hold that it was not altogether our fault, and w*e trust some day or other you will have forgiven us, if you have not to-day, for being alive and all here together. I want to say another thing about toe soldier’s work. I know of nothing in all the circle of human duty that so unites men as the common suffering and danger and struggle that war brings upon a regiment. You cannot know a man so thoroughly and so soon as by the tremendous testß to which wsr subjects him. These men knew each other by sight long before they knew each other by heart;but before they got back home they knew each other as you some times Know a song, “by hear!for they had been tested by fire, they had been tested by starvation, they had been tested by toe gr im presence of death, and each knew tost those who remained were Union men, men that in all the hard, cloao chances if life had the stuff in them that enabled them to stand up in the very extremes. They did, and stood up ready to die; and ■Beb men, so tried and so acquainted, never got over it, and the rest of the world n; oat permit them to be just a little claniah toward each other. The rest of the world will not think that we are narrow, when it cqpsidera this fault of ours a little closer to us than any of the rest of (the world in a military way. Now, fellowcirtzens, we are here to look into your faces, to enjoy vour hospitality, to revive our oltf memories of the place, but for more than anything else to look into each, other’s faces, and revive the memories of a great many places less pleasing and home-like than Ashland We have been meeting together in this way nearly fifteen years, and we have made a pledge to each other that as long as there are two ol us left to shake hands we will meet and greet toe survived. Some us folt a.tittle hurt about ten years ago when (he papers spoke okus as the survivors of the Forty seeorid regimset, We were survivors,' it was true, but we thought we were so surviving that it need not be put at us as though we were about to die. Now I don’t know how it is with the rest of yon. Most ftfinanKidd rw old, and you can see it in their faces. iee here and there a bald head like my own, or a white one like "CapL Gardner’s, ' but to me these men will be boys till they die. We meet sad greet them M hoys, even though

they become very yld boys, and in that spirit of young, hopeful, daring manhood, we fexpect to meet them to long as we live. Nothing can get Us' a great ways from each other while we live. lam glad to meet these men here to-day, [Here another portion of the platform broke down, precipitating General Garfield and two or tHeee of the reporters to the ground.] .Continuing be said: I was glad *V> that then was not anybody hart when that broke and nobody mace unhappy, and I will- conclude. All 1 wanted to say more than i intended to say, by adding t*?is t These men went out without one single touch of revenge in their heasts. They went out to maintain this Union and make U immortal; to put their own immortal Jives into it, and to make it possible that the people of Ashland should make the monogram of the United States as you soe .it up these (pointing to the monogram on the building), a wreath of “Union," inside a very large “N,” a capital **N," that stands for Nation; a natfon ao large that it includes the "U. 8. A.,” all the people of the repoMto'and will in clndß -tt forevermore. That is what we ■aeaSkthemawd that is whatWe mean now. Now, follow-citiseas and soldiers of the Fortyeecqnd regimen t,for I have been talking toaihly to you, and if spy of this crowd have overheard I am not Dahicut or M fepeUSWaiiJwii and comrades, I gpdt you May With WMMicHoo, and bid yog a co^ial Oo*X„ August 27 —The [event of the day it Charter Oak park was toe track, appearing in fine condition, He and bis owner, and driver (Hickok) W«re liberally applauded fiy the large

Mrtlta.^id^totlediimile'in for a trial. Getting under high speed, Hickok nodded tor toe word as he came to the wire, and the horse went down the stretch and around toe turn at hia magnificently gait, working like a piece of machinery. Hundreds ot watches were in hand, and every eye followed' toe hone With intense interest. The watches gave the first quarter at 88V, or a 8:11 gait, and many in toe entousisstk crowd began to exclaim, “He will do it.” His action was beautiful down the back stretch, and he come to toe halt mile post In 1:05, a 8:10 gait. The excitement increased, as did the confidence of the crowd in toe success of the attempt. The third auarter was mads iu I .-flSjg, and St Julien come at a magnificent speed around the curve and upon the home stretch. As he approached the torn there was a thrill of apprehension into* crowd on discovering that a driver ot a drag, which had been smoothing the track to make it perfect for the horse, was still at his work, and it seemed he would turn Stas—thetas from his oneien. or cause him to break; but a quick turn of the drag to toe oat■ls>> irae made, and the horse come on unppeded and without annoyance. Nebrfag the distance pole some spectators thought there was a slight slacking of speed- It there was a slackening it wss only momentary, tor St. Julien went to the wire with a tremendous bunt of *pead, and in an instant watches were consulted, and there were shouts, “He has woo,” and cheer upon cheer went up from

the grand stand and from the crowded section of the judges’ stand, where many prominent cltiaens and visiting turfmen had-gathered. Some gave the time as Others atflilllfo hut all acknowledged the record was beaten, and four out of five agreed with the lime afterward officially announced it Silljf. Bt. Julien jogged back to the judge's stand, the spectators on the grand stand rising to their feet, cheering and waving hats and handkerchiefs, Hickok lifting his hat in response. He was met

by toe officials of toe association and preceded with a beautiful floral wreath. A floral cushion was placed upon the sulky, and St Julien was blanketed and led np and down in front of the stand with Mr. Humphrey, an enthusiastic admirer, following with his hands upon the sulky. President Harbison announced that in addition to a purse of $8,600 which had been won by beating the record, the association had voted SSOO extra to Hickok. The association, he said, had been sorely disappointed by toe withdrawal of Maud S, but St. Julien has come to the front and given a performance equal to anything which could be expected from Maud 8. He propose i three cheers for St Julien, which were given with will. Hickok was heartily congratulated by toe invited guests on the judge# stand. St Julien was led away, and the greatest event in the history of trotting was over. The managers of Charter Oak Park feel rejoiced that their track, from which St Julian was purchased by Hickok three years ago, had been the scene of the grandest triumph of trotting. Rarus made the beat achievement before he was withdrawn from turf, aud this year Hannis and other noted horses have improved their records.

I last saw you there in the most exposed angle of that unfortunate line, broken by the combined forces of Bragg and Longstreet. I then saw you gallantly fighting under toe immediate direction of General Thomas to reform that broken line and bold toe exultant rebel hosts in check until toe gallant Steadman, with reiLfofcemente, swept them back into the dark valley of the Chickamauga.

I now see you here with your wires, children and friends, peaceably en. joying this grand reception of your friends and neighbors here assembled to honor and entertain you. But nothing ao attracts my attention as your young and active appearance. It is more than eighteen years since you left for the war, and yet you are not old. Indeed, many of you appear almost tike boys. This I am pleased to observe, for if there be any men upon toe face of the earth who deserve an extention of time it is yoi who in early manhood so freely gave your services to your country that it might live. Nothing o&n be more proper than these annual reunions. lam aware of the reputation which this organization, as well as my own regiment, always enjoyevl of unity and good fellowship amonir its officers and men.
